The armor itself could be similar to recon in that it unlocks from bungie.net after completing something specific I stick to the vidmaster of old I will hunt every single BOB I will hit every switch (I believe the data pads to be the switches)I will use grenades when ever I can and I will do it all on legendary.



Halo 3 Recon Versus BOB helmet

Recon - was always on the disk from day 1
BOB helmet - only ona picture and video, NOT on disk.

Just ignore Kira, out of ALL the posters here on this topic he/she is the only one who is going crazy and saying my theory doesn't make sense.

The BOB helmet IS on the disk, the people at IGN didn't fake the screenshots, and armor DLC is impossible. Even if killing the BOBS doesn't activate the helmet, Vidmasters might, and that still means its on the disk.

Lets just find the Exodus BOB and the New Alexandria BOB and prove Kira wrong. ;)

-With somewhat 7 months after release sa time pass, Reach has been data-mined numerous times before. Its contents, fully explored.
If the armor was there, there would be mesh files somewhere on the disk, which they aren't.



Its 1 thing knowing where the files are located...
its an other to know where its located in the game...

assuming the egg itself has a file.

Could be one of the reasons, might not be the right one either.
Ask about it to a modder if you wanna be sure.


And before you come around "but if you aren't sure, how can you be for the BOB helmet".
If it was on the disk, with all the heated threads about it, somebody would of posted it by now.


Bungie never stopped the flame wars about the Legendary ending by posting. And to what I remember, NoWise said that the Pelican EE wasn't real, and that he had checked New Alexandria's Coding before. He is a very skilled modder, but didn't find it. Stop being a killjoy and let people be. Unless you have a Bungie or 343i employee saying that this is incorrect, don't say we're wrong. We might be, we might not be, we'll just have to wait and see.

Exactly KTAN.

I'm not trying to say that what I say in this topic is 100% truth, I could be really wrong. The thing is though, the helmet has been seen, and Bungie are professional coders, they hid this away very well.

Two points, (only read OP and first page of comments)

As most of you have tried to do the kill x ammount of veichles in firefight today, you will know that killing a banshee without a power weapon will not count as a kill,

this could mean that you have to kill the BOB on new alexandria with a normal weapon, so that you kill the driver and not the veichle(same for exodus??),

My second theory is that maybe these two particular banshees are hijack-able,

Has anybody tried this?

Let me know what you think,
Ankerd

  • 04.18.2011 9:30 PM PDT

Well, if the "BOB" that people say is a BOB on Exodus is infact a BOB, then you can't kill this Banshee with a power weapon, because for it to spawn you have to be inside of the Falcon.

Now for New Alexandria, that is a different story.

I will experiment with this tonight.

I didn't make my point very clear,

I mean either try hijacking, or kill with a NON power weapon to kill the driver...

Also i only did the Exodus mission last night and wasn't paying huge attention, but, would it be possible to jetpack to the section where you start gunning down enemies in the falcon?

The BOB kills on Exodus or New Alexandria do not reward you with a Seek and Destroy medal.


QFT though killing a specific banshee will award you the challenge for golden elites

  • 04.18.2011 9:43 PM PDT

I personally think the helmet is ugly but getting it would be cool.

Also just like the other BOBS there could easily be one in a building that n-one has made it to yet and it leaves.

There are plenty of spots this could happen.

For example the room that you take the elevator to(MP Board) maybe those drones are to keep you from seeing something or distracting you.

Anyway it could be somewhere like on the side of a building hanging out low like the data pad.

Just thinking.

Don't be silly. You're not wrong because nobody is agreeing with you, you're wrong because your points are weak and poorly supported. The fact that people disagree with you is a symptom of being wrong, not the cause or the proof of it. Canary in the coal mine, so to speak.

I think that whether this has any credibility can be confirmed by the question of Elite Officer Armor/Recon UA+HUL3/Flaming head effect. Those are technically armor DLCs or something of the like. Are those on-disk? Can you tell me that? Unless you can tell me specifically and 100% accurately that they are, your claims don't really have any more credibility than you think those of this thread have.

I for one will join the hunt tomorow im gonna clean up all the bobs i can

i will start by getting ones i dont have then i will scan exodus and new alexandra

to OP add me my gamertag is N1NJA STITCH

i completely understand your theory as bungie wouldnt waste the time on making the spawns so secretive and random

as for the helmet resemblence i noticed it imediately after seeing that picture a while back your comparison pic however is a great way to raise awareness

i think the bob hunt needs to be done as you said obtaing all medal for bob kills but what someone said earlier about new alexandra a bob spawning on the roof it happened to me way back but he disapears mad fast no vid though cos it was before i even knew bob were important i thought woah crazy warping elite wtf

but yeah im gonna try finding him again and also all the others

  • 04.18.2011 11:41 PM PDT

Good positve thread (with minor exception) - a rare find on here (like BOBs). Saved.

OP, gonna add you next time I'm on and help if needed. One thing I did think after reading 6 pages of this is on NA, you say you have to be in the falcon to spawn the Bobshee, is it possible to do 4 player coop, drop 2 or 3 players on the route the bobshee flys (not sure if there is anywhere in range they can hang out on) and have them shoot it down after the other player gets in the falcon to spawn it? Just an idea, havn't looked into it myself yet.

Cheers


Edit: just found this thread on how to get into soft kill zones, might help:

do not mistake Dick Locked Content with DownLoadable Content.
THe onyl thing to code you got with the legendary edition did was give you access to the item in question. Its on the disk.

Same as with the Bungie blue flame.

Anyways, if the OP beleives killing every BOB will unlock some special ending/armor or whatnot.. please, do go ahead and enjoy yourselves. But dont keep you hopes high.

has anyone tryirf following the Bobshee on NA to see if it lands somewhere? i mean just watch it from spawning to when ever it disappers. i mention this because in most cases it ethier goes unnoticed or is K.O.S.. just a thought to pounder.

Pretty sure it flies off the map if you don't kill it fast enough.

Its interesting, and about time someone colaborated all this information into one thread

and that has been the best understanding of the mystery helmet i've seen so far

Maybe the secret of the bobs has something relevent to their contexts, the "Born-on-boards", Sanghelli who have spent their lives from birth living and working on covenant ships. We havn't heard anything about this in any other aspects of the Haloverse, are they regarded highly? are they low class warriors for having no homeworld?

Would such a context exist with the sanghelli being composed of male crew?


In the Halo legends film the package, there is a Female Elite.

i have tried this with friends. u always kill the shee before the bob. the bobs health/shields are to high. u cant shoot it out of the shee. and u cant hijack it cause its in 100% boost ALL of the time. or at least if u get near it or disable it. and if a shee is boosting in campaign it isnt hijackable.

'Hey master chief, here, we found a box of these Spartan Lasers back on reach, we thought we would tell you about them after you fought the covenant for several months during Halo: CE and Halo: 2.... hope you don't mind

Posted by: DYESBOX D60
A few things:

1. The supposed BOBs on Exodus and New Alexandria ARE in fact BOBs as I have obtained the "Golden Ranger" Daily Challenges using both of them. Therefore they ARE golden ranger elites and count as BOBs despite the lack of a medal.

2. You cannot skyjack a banshee that is boosting, and the BOB banshees are ALWAYS boosting. Therefore you can not skyjack them. I have tried many times in New Alexandria and not once have I even gotten the "Hold X to Skyjack" message.


Yeah, i can see where this guy is coming from, but i was thinking, when you Overcharge a banshee, it is boardable, right? i mean, this is a long shot, as there is a height level where you die, but if you can EMP the banshee with eh grenade launcher, the jump and board...?

as i said before, long shot, but still.. worth a try. i think i may go hunting :D

My head just exploded. Could it be? OP your either a genius or a madman.

  • 04.19.2011 6:49 AM PDT



I wouldnt be suprised if the "bob-helmet" was hidden inside the gungnir helmet. Why else include a huge diaper in the armory?

if not hidden very well, the "is not on disc" argument is very plausible. Only comes to mind the fact that the helmet was used in a video. I don´t think they would have used this in a video if it didnt work technically with the game..

also there have been rumors of an "armory update pack" from 343. Obviously you pay for some new armor options, and everyone gets a free light version of the update, to be able to see the new armors ingame (on other people).

The new helmet could be in an update or hidden on disc regardless. And unlocked via Waypoint.



And on the subject of medals rewarded for killing bobs, it is insignificant. You can go to enemies on your account, and filter by map. then if there is a bob on each of the levels, and perhaps a total of 77 dead bobs...

Its possible.

'Hey master chief, here, we found a box of these Spartan Lasers back on reach, we thought we would tell you about them after you fought the covenant for several months during Halo: CE and Halo: 2.... hope you don't mind

(This is basically a bump)

This idea is plausible as anything else ive ever seen, it makes me want to try things to get bobs DEAD!
